Setsuko Posted March 26, 2002 Author Share Posted March 26, 2002 V/A - Rolling Synthochords Artist: Various Title: Rolling Synthochords Label: Uphonic Date: 2001 Track listing: 01. 06'53" Comadose : Alien/Banker 02. 06'34" Magus And Friends : Stepladder 03. 07'51" Irie : High Hill Road 04. 07'37" BLT And DJ Gidi : White Lotus 05. 07'17" Navajo : Fat Luzy 06. 08'12" Charasmatix : Happy Nu Yeahre 07. 07'29" Bamboo Forest : Synthesis 08. 06'46" Cybersnack : Progress Dub Review: Uphonic is a new division of Adodisc records based in Amsterdam and I must admit that this compact disk is encoded with some real quality psytrance with electro and techno influences (not at all recommended for the full-on melodic lover - this to avoid another 'minimal sucks' screwed review). the style is a bit between the Creamcrop and Resonoise releases so very dancefloor orientated. #1 is produced by M.K. Poulsen from denmark and you can hear the typical Creamcrop style in here , ... but imo the track loses a bit interest after a few minutes . #2 yes , just great ... i realy like this style ... psy electekk at it's best ... ultimate groove and in the middle a very unbalaced moment followed by an even more crazy groove ... a dancefloor killer !! #3 this is a surprise , Irie has this nice touch , very refreshing ... liquid-ish sounding structures . #4 well , this ain't bad but somehow it doesn't fit in this compilation , nice atmosphere in here ... very israeli sounding , a! bit to much for my taste ( the use in samples could have been better imo) . #5 a Navajo insane stomper , play this loud ... this is wicked #6 german tech/trance . nice rolling bassline but the percussionwork isn't good positioned imo , it get's this out of equilibrium effect while focusing on it . #7 another hard and rolling bassline , this track is very deep ... and has a great groove , as usual Bamboo Forest doesn't disappoint me at all. finishing with #8 , a bit dubby (like vibrasphere) , but then on the pumping side , this guy from berlin takes it to the edge (and a bit over too , of you know what i mean).... well , this first Uphonic release is not bad at all although the coverart is lame and this gives you this amateurish influence ... but the main importance of this project is finished ... highlights to me are 2,3,5 and 7 ... i give this a psychedelic 7/10 rating . give this a try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
